>Guys, guys! I don't care about you, but I will still stalk your board, because you can't present your digging. Don't you see? You goyim NEED me to present your work for you! So stop using the freedom of the internet to criticize my poor choices! 8chan is dead, imageboards don't have to be my audience anymore!

Good lord, that salt if biblical, but to call /v/ of all boards dying? What a delusional crybaby. Why don't you screencap this post RalphRetard?

Why would anyone want to quote you posting copypasta that claims HIV doesn't cause AIDS and rambles about "weather modification technology"? With a bunch of sources about chemtrails, "satanic ritual abuse", and similar garbage.

People aren't using the other boards because they're all frozen and take forever to update. I would actually love to go post around gghq a bit but there's no point when the front page is frozen like it is.

I'm worried this shit might be used by CommonCore advocates to try and do what OUYA failed to ("clean up" gaming to make it look puritan so investors will put money into CC games. Push the agenda by forcing students to play by those rules).

Indeed, seeing the nature of imageboards though, these things tend to get more attention when the necessary portions are posted up and are viewable in image form rather than people being given a link and told to read the whole book.

Seems to me like the only way to convince people how dumb this policy is would be to take it to it's inevitable conclusion. Either it bites the very people who wanted it in the first place in the ass and they whine to get it pulled, or jewtube plays obvious favorites and gets to enjoy all the bad PR that comes from everyone pointing that out.

>the game leads you on into making a specific choice and will chastise you and make you feel guilty for it.

Reminds of one time when I was put into one of those adolescent support groups.

One of the activities had us grouped male/female where we had to write things about the opposite sex. Heavily implying banter. Then just made everyone quiet and feel guilty while the things were read out loud with ~20 helper staff staring.

You realize the shit that kicked this off was big enough for entire sites to put aside their differences for a common cause, right? Seriously, is there any demographic that would be a legit surprise to see in these threads?

Let's assume the HI-Virus is responsible for AIDS. Let's also assume there is a group of people convinced of the opposite + this group believes the government/media/general public acts like this anon describes it. How could you convince them, that they were wrong? The Answer is you couldn't, because all evidence would be dismissed as some form of propaganda.

I'm not sure you know what "affiliate links" are. It's a basically automated process with websites like Amazon where someone follows a link from your site and then buys something. And I don't think he has them, he just uses adsense ads last I heard.

How is it out of context? The context is that it's from the site of "Rocky Moantain Herbal Institutes", which appears to charge thousands to dollars for worthless courses and certifications in "Traditional Chinese Herbal Sciences". They openly claim that AIDS isn't caused by HIV and is manmade. Presumably their students and faculty are among the people selling worthless "herbal remedies" for AIDS to desperate victims. Not only is it misinformation, it's among the most harmful misinformation around. HIV denialists successfully influenced even governments like South Africa, where until 2008 their healthcare policy was run by denialists and fucked over their own citizen's access to real treatment.

On it's own the copypasta is bullshit wrapped in vague truisms, and the context makes it even worse.

How does the TNG cast even like Wesley? According to the producers, he was THE biggest pain in the ass to ever work with. And that's coming from people who had to deal with Patrick Stewart thinking that TNG will only last one season.

>As a method of protest, it makes sense to try to attack a site’s pocketbook. Sites like Archive.today have been used by climate change deniers to share and criticize links to popular climate news websites, for example.

I'm honestly starting to doubt it. I know of this one woman, literal definition of "trailer trash," and every time she claims she fucked up her car, betalords give her hundreds of dollars. Happens every month or so. What does she do? Literally copy-pastes code from Minecraft for a farming mod. No, seriously, she copy-pastes everything, and refuses to fix whatever minor mistakes are made, even if people give the fix to her.

An anon in the last thread asked about Marxist literature in reference to material to strategize against/understand the SJW. Another anon compiled a pretty good list of reading material from liberal/right/far-right authors so hopefully they repost it here. Anyways as someone who could be defined politically as a 'Marxist' (don't let me lose you here) I hoped maybe I could help here.

First up, here's a critic of the Frankfurt School (also known around here as 'Cultural Marxism') by David North who is self-defined as a Trotskyist. Luckily he does not touch too much on Trotskyism in this essay but instead focuses heavily on the Frankfurt School and ripes apart some of the criticisms of Marxism set forth by Alex Steiner (a Cultural Marxist). Basically, Steiner was a member of an American Trotskyist party of which David North is the chairman of, but upon leaving wrote a criticism of the party accusing it of not 'getting with the times' so to speak. North's reply in summery is that the ideology Steiner advocates is not Marxism at all and breaks down some of his central arguments. A good bit of the essay deals with internal issues of the party and can probably be skipped.

Next up, by the same author is "The Frankfurt School, Postmodernism, and the Politics of The Psuedo-Left". I was not able to find a pdf of the full text, but if anyone can please do share. However, I was able to find a pdf of the forward which is worth a read on its own. In this text, particularly the forward, North references again to Steiner as his 'case-study' of psuedo-leftism but expands further to include more examples. At the very end of the forward he defines psuedo-leftism in detail classifying them as those on the left who: utilize populist slogans to promote the affluent middle-class; reject historical materialism (and therefore Marxism); embrace subjective idealism, existentialism, and postmodernism; denies class struggle in favor of populism in the struggle against capitalism; promotes identity politics, therefore seeking greater access to social privilege rather than dismantling it (bolded since I know you guys are familiar with this one); legitimizes neo-colonialism under the guise of 'human rights'.

Finally, I've included some works from Slavoj Zizek, with whom you may or may not be familier. For those who aren't, he's become somewhat of a meme among leftists, but as much of a celebrity he's become I don't think his work should be taken lightly. Most of his ideas are borrowed from other Critical Theorists, but it's his ability to synthesis these ideas that I like about him. The book I recommend by him is Living In The End Time since it contains a good amount of critic of liberalism as well as other modern mainstream ideologies. The book attempts to explain the human response to current economic crisises using the stages of grief as a framework. Zizek can be dense as hell in his writing, but he's definitely worth attempting to understand.

Speaking of Zizek, here's a good lecture he's given on the subject of 'Tolerance' as a political ideology. Perhaps this is more relevant reading than his other book on the subject of Gamergate. Here he attempts to illustrate the failings of Liberalism and how a focus on so-called 'tolerance' is ultimately detrimental to both leftism and society as a whole. I think this lecture links together well with David North's definition of 'pseudo-leftism' since Zizek goes into some detail about how 'tolerance' can be used to justify imperialism/colonialism.

Anyways, I'll attempt to dig up some more material about the Frankfurt School since Cultural Marxism is always a hot topic in these threads. There's definitely more Marxist/Leftist criticisms of the Frankfurt School that I haven't read, so I'll try to find ones relevant to our current objectives. Specifically I want to find works relating to counter-strategy, so I will post them here when I find the time. I'd definitely be interested in other book/essay/lecture suggestions if anyone has them.

Fuck. I always had such respect for the man. I guess it would be a waste of time to try and give him the other side of the story. This is why I unfollowed the whole TNG crew when GG started. As one anon put it, bury your heroes before they bury you. Wanna know a secret? I use to follow Wil Wheaton. I even liked him. Then he started shitting on me for wanting game journos to stop being corrupt.

The only way somebody like Michael Dorn would become neutral or even semi-pro would be if somebody like CultofVivian were to sit down with him and set him straight, and that's not likely to happen.

Makes sense, he's said himself that he's quite hated in that region. I forgot exactly what it was in particular that Slovenians hate him for, but iirc it had something to do with his analysis of Yugoslavia. He's hated pretty widely around the world by many Leftists and non-Leftists alike though, so it might be more that Slovenians don't want to be associated with him.

>>As a method of protest, it makes sense to try to attack a site’s pocketbook. Sites like Archive.today have been used by climate change deniers to share and criticize links to popular climate news websites, for example.

Wait, how were climate change deniers even relevant to the discussion?

It does feel like the mindset of conspiracy theorist, but at the same time there is a lot of truth there. The media and other powerful institutions do use propaganda and misinformation to present false narratives and lies. Hell, several people throughout the 20th century have been exposed on this shit. The problem with conspiracy theorist is twofold. One, the media often has a vested interest in dismissing them if they are on the right trail. Two, they often get involved in some pretty wacky stuff. The conspiracies become their life. They have whole communities of people dedicated to this kind of stuff. When there simply isn't enough to keep people occupied, they will start inventing things to occupy them.

Being able to see through media manipulation and propaganda are invaluable things to know. They really should teach some basic stuff about media manipulation in schools to be honest.

Not sure where it came from, the SJW bingo card thing has been around a long time, I remember it circulating around the feminist blogosphere during the Bush administration.

Obviously there's nothing wrong with bingo cards for shit like E3, but it becomes a bad thing when you see people pattern-matching arguments instead of actually engaging what people are saying. That's how you get SJWs saying stuff like "he just filled in the 'free speech' and 'men get raped too' part of my bingo card!", as if that actually makes the argument less valid.

It totally is. They preach that we have to be 'tolerant' of their insane sexualities while simultaneously denying straight men theirs. Likewise with their criticism of capitalism while simultaneously being petite bourgeois. Their hypocritical politics almost mirrors their shitty taste in 'ironic' hipster art.

You know SJWs have gone too far when they got me agreeing with and defending trannys from them.

The whole "transcum" and "tucutes" is one of the most fucked up examples of unchecked aggression in a community I've seen. The trannys just wanted to be left alone. They just wanted to transition. Then angsty kids come along, claim a shit ton of pronouns and special labels, then label real trannys "transcum." Are you fucking kidding me right now? Really? "Transcum?" You're gonna be that fucking blatant? And then call other people transphobic? Fucking really?

They give themselves away with that whole card. Just by reading that card, you get a solid picture of what these people are like, and what's wrong in their heads.

Story time mutha fuckas. My nephew knows a kid at school that changed his name to "penelope" or some shit like that. He's a boy that decided overnight that he wanted to be a girl. He has a group of female friends that are zealously defending him, and insisting that everyone address him as Penelope. Thing is, the kid has literally changed nothing. Same clothes, same personality, same fucking kid. So my nephew refuses to call him penelope and calls him by his given name. He looks and acts like a boy, yet he wants all that female privilege. He wants to be able to go into the girls restrooms and locker room. Have his cake and eat it too. Anyway, these girls are attacking my nephew now and shit. I dunno how to help him. None of this shit was going on when I was in high school. The weirdest kids we had to worry about were these two goth girls that wiped boogers on people. Now they got boys that think they're girls and if you don't let them peek at your daughter in the locker room you'll get sued. Fuck this earth man.
